Thyagaraja Bhakthi

mAru Balka - Sri ranjani - Adi

Tyagaraja as an intimate devotee, asks Rama why he was not replying him. But soon he was happy to realize that Rama was in his heart only.

P	mAru balka kunna vEmira mA manOramaNa ||	Why don't you reply me, Oh my beloved Rama.
AP	jAra chOra bhajana chEsitinA sAketa sadana ||	Did I worship characterless and dishonest persons, Oh Lord of Saketa.
C	doorabhAra mandu nA hridayAravinda mandu nela konu dAri nerigi santa silli naTTi tyAgarAjanuta ||	I thought your abode Saketa is far away Now I realize that you are in my heart only I am happy, Oh Lord of Tyagaraja.

manasA eTulO - malaya mArutam - roopakam

In this Kruti Tyagaraja blames himself for not listening to his own request to spend time in the devotion to Rama. He also requests his mind not to waste time in evil thoughts.

P	manasA eTulOrtune nA manavini chE konavE Oh! ||	How can I bear? Why don't you listen to me? Oh my heart.
AP	dinakara kula bhooshaNuni, deenuDa vai bhajana chEsi dinamu gaDupu manina neevu vinava dEla guNa viheena ||	When I ask you to spend your day praying Rama, the jewel of the Sun dynasty, why don't you listen? Oh my wicked mind.
C	kalilO rAjasa tAmasa guNa mulu kala vAri chelimi kalasi melasi tiruguchu mari kAlamu gaDapa kanE sulabhamugA kaDa tEranu soochanalanu teliya jEyu ilanu tyAgarAju mATa vinva dEla guna vi heena ||	In this Kaliyuga, don't spend your time moving in the company of the aggressive or the indolent. Why don't you listen to Tyagaraja's words? They reveal the path to uplift yourself easily.

manavi Alakinchara - naLina kAnti - Adi

P	manaviAla kincha rAdaTE marma mella delpeda nE manasa ||	Oh my mind, why don't you listen to my appeals?
AP	ghanu Daina rAma chandruni karuNanta rangamu telasi nA ||	I'll reveal the inner nature of the compassionate and great Rama.
C	karma kAnDa matA krushTulai bhava gahana chArulai gAsi chendaga kani mAna vAvatAruDai kani pinchinAdE naData tyAgarAju ||	Many misinformed persons with the sole aim of achieving greatness, performed austerities and vedic rituals. Thus they continue to entangle themselves in the cycle of births and deaths. Rama took incarnation on the earth as a human being to demonstrate how righteousness and compassion alone are ideals for the mankind.
